Respect for life has all but disappeared in this country, and certainly the world over. For the last few days, the abortion issue has surfaced in my search for news. In that search, it is also becoming increasingly difficult to find just that: news. Most of what we get is commentary, where news ‘anchors’ actuallyContinue reading “Are you drunk?”

Omer Goodness!
Our portion this week includes the counting of the Omer in VaYikra, [Lev] and also a mandate in Kolossim not to follow the commandments of MEN. If you have been following our Congregation’s web page and postings, you will see that our count is just now on 16 in the Omer, whereas among Rabbinic JewsContinue reading “Omer Goodness!”
The Sign of Yonah
Yeshua said that the only “sign” He would give Yisra’el to prove that He was/is Messiah was the sign of Yonah [Matt 12:39-40]: “Rabbi, we want to see a miraculous sign from you.” He replied, “A wicked and adulterous generation asks for a sign… No! None will be given to it but the sign ofContinue reading “The Sign of Yonah”
Rabbi Stone-Mason: THE ROCK
Yeshua is a Jew, and was a Stone Mason, until He became a Rabbi. Essentially, however, He was always a Rabbi, as he was teaching the teachers at Pesakh when He was only twelve years old. [Rabbi is from the Hebrew which literally means ‘my great one’, implying one who knows far more about TorahContinue reading “Rabbi Stone-Mason: THE ROCK”
You DO Keep Torah!
There is a lot of debate going on between Messianic Jewish and Gentile believers and Christians. The issue with the debate, however, is that it presupposes that one group keeps the Torah, and the other does not. Nothing could be further from the truth! The Torah contains in it a short summary of itself inContinue reading “You DO Keep Torah!”
Stand Up and Bless
The title is a phrase we say in the Synagogue at least once a month. It is a call from the scriptures to acknowledge the sovereignty of the Creator. Last night I was watching the news, which I am loathe to do most of the time, because it just frustrates me concerning the way peopleContinue reading “Stand Up and Bless”
The Lying Messiah
“And he shall change the SEASONS and the TORAH.” Daniel 7:25 Even most so-called scholars do believe this is the ‘anti-christ’ that Shaul, Kefa, and Yokhanan all wrote about. [Paul, Peter, and John] They did not invent the idea of a “Liar Messiah.” This future human is prophesied about quite at length in the TorahContinue reading “The Lying Messiah”
Proud of my Scottish Heritage
(almost as proud as I am of my Jewish forebears) For nearly 800 years, Scotland and Ireland were untouched by the popes. They were isolated from the council of Nicaea, and did NOT make the switch! There is evidence and a solid argument that the famed Patrick of Ireland/Scotland never agreed to Nicaea’s heresies. TheseContinue reading “Proud of my Scottish Heritage”
Khannukah
Khannukah! I have written about this probably nearly every year, so I do not want to belabor the subject too much. Many have misunderstood me on this, and have even ‘un-friended’ me, because the history I point out seems to be a personal offense, I suppose, even though I usually preface these things with myContinue reading “Khannukah”
Why Khannukah?
Khannukah means ‘Dedication.’ King David wrote a psalm specifically for the ‘Dedication of the House,’ anticipating building the first Temple, the House of Elohim. Tehillim Perek 30 תְּהִלִּים א מִזְמוֹר: שִׁיר-חֲנֻכַּת הַבַּיִת לְדָוִד. 1 Mizmor; a Song at the Dedication of the House; for David. ב אֲרוֹמִמְךָ יהוה, כִּי דִלִּיתָנִי; וְלֹא-שִׂמַּחְתָּ אֹיְבַי לִי. 2 IContinue reading “Why Khannukah?”
